The Conception Of the Infinite, and the
Solution of the Mathematical init
nomics: 4 Study in Psychological
Analysis. By CHARLES 5. FULLER
TON, A. NJ, b. d., Adjunct Professor
Of Philosophy in the University OF
PENNSYLVANIA. Philadelphia. j. b.
Lippincott Company. 1887. Price
81.
Professor FULLERTON has undertaken
what seems to us to be an impossible
task. He considers" in this book
"the errors which have arisen from a
mistaken notion of the content of our
conception of the infinite, " and tries to
"show that they all arise from aforeign
and contradictory element inadvertent-
" admitted as part of the conception,
and that this element being eliminated,
the conception is in no respect incon-
ceivable, nor does it present any diff
culties. not presented by any other con-
cept or general notion" In other
words, man may conceive the infinite.
We don't believe it.

PrTERspuRa, February 8, 1887.
Messrs It. G. Eastman, II. @. Scott,
and Moses Joy, Jr., of Milford, Mass,
representing. It is said, o wealthy syn
dicate of that State, spent several days
in our city this week. II Is reported
that the object of their visit was to look
nfter profitable investments heTcabouts.
Whether anything was accomplished III
that line has not been divulged. These
gentlemen examined the mills, the fine
water-power, and the property gone
rally OF the Upper Appomattox Canal
Company. During their presence in
our city they were called upon by
number of our merchants and business
men, and their stay here was made as
pleasant as possible. They left yester-
day on their return North.
Two robberies were attempted last
night Gin Pocahontas, Just across the
river. The places entered were the
coal-ofIices of Mr.. j. il. Hobson and
Captain William r. Nichols. The
doors were priced open, the desks
broken, and papers and books scattered
around. At Captain Nichols's office an
attempt was made to force open the
safe, which was found this morning in
q much battered condition, but other
wise intact. From the number of
burned matches found on the floor it Is
supposed the thieves were at work for
some time. As no money is kept IN
these Offices. the thieves had all their
labor for nothing.
1t is learned on good authority that
the amount of anthracite coal in the
hands Of dealers in Petersburg does not
exceed 700 tons. This will serve to
meet demands here forawhile and until
further supplies can be obtained, unless
the labor complications at the North in
crease. Orders for hard coal from outside
the city have been declined in order
that our own people may be supplied.
The wife of Rev. DR.. II. \. Sledd
has been quite sick for several days.
Judge B. A. Hancock, in granting
the charter to the Petersburg Crystal
Ice Company, made it the express con-
dition Of granting the charter that the
company should pay all demands OF or
dues to the State in lawful money of
the United States, and not in coupons.
In order that it may be impartially
determined as to the responsibility of
the accident by which Mr.. and Mrs.
William T. Smith, of Prince George
county, were some time ago injured,
and which resulted in two suits of Sl0,-
600 and 81, 900 respectively against the
Petersburg railroad for damages, the
jury trying the case were to-day taken
to the scene of the accident to judge
for themselves. Mr.. and Mrs. Smith
were in buggy at the time of the acct.
dent, and buggy was provided and
placed at the location of the accident.
| A train of cars was also made up, and,
rs near as possible, the location OF each
was shown as on the day and at the
time of the accident. ROBIN ADA1t.

Yesterday, in the lower house OF tho
North Carolina Legislature, the bill to
repeal the county-government law was
defeated, Speaker WEBSTER casting,
upon tie, the deciding vote. The
county-government law of North
Carolina was passed by the Legis-
lature of 1851, and wrested the coun-
ties, particularly in the eastern portion
of the State, from the domination OF
the worst and most ignorant elements.
Yesterdays work is regarded as a great
triumph for good government, and will
materially interfere with Republican
calculations touching future elections.

The article in yesterdays Dispatch
giving the particulars of the earthquake
OF August 81, 1856, on the island of
Ninatu must have recalled TO the mind
of every reader that that was the very
day on which the worst of the quakings
at Charleston occurred. But whilst the
people OF that city were suffering from
what seemed 10 them to be threatened
destruction OF life and property, the
people Of the little island mentioned
realized what the people of Charleston
and other places in this country, some
of them far from Charleston, rather
feared than experienced, though even
in Charleston the quakings were GER
tainly such as fully 70 justify all the APP
prehensions which they produced. Now
sesd again how the earthquake behaved
In Ninatu. We quote:
son the 3lst Of August huge pill
lar OF fame shot up from the centre OF
fhe lake, accompanied by volumes OF
1oiling water and showers OF stone end
1umice. The waters Of the lake boiled
snd seethsd, and then from its bosom .

Gene Of land started up. -Four craters

fire. stones, ashes. and scorie, covering
the island aud burning up every parti-
Gle OF vegetation. This war OF the c.e-
mcnts continued for ten days, and every
thing was covered with volcanic dust TO
the depth Of many feet. A canoe,
which the natives used 10 60 across to
another island for shelter, was buried
thirty feet under ashes and lava"
We reproduce this in the interest oil
humanity, desiring our people to be
firm in the faith that this favored land
of ours long ago passed the age for
such earthquakes as the one at Ninatu.

The Republicans seem to be deter
mined to hold the fort-the United
States Senate-right or wrong. What
possible element of legality did the
election of Mr.. TURPIE to the United
States Senate lack? Not one. The
only pretence of reason for contesting
his election was the fact that ROBINSON,
who claims to be Lieutenant-Governor,
was not presiding over the State Senate
and therefore over the joint convention.
II he had been in Office, the vote would
have been 76 for TURPIE to rs for HAIR
RIsoN even if ROBINSON had been al
lowed to vote, as he had no right to do.
The malcontent who declared that
there had been no election was the
Speaker of the lower house. The Off
Ger who declared that TURPIE had been
elected was the acting-president Of the
Senate, who really ought to have pre-
sided over the joint convention himself.
The new Democratic senator has a
clear title to his seat, and as there will
likely he tie in the next United States
Senate whenever RIpDLEBEBGZR .yotes
with the Democrats, surely one honest
Republican may be found TO vote with
him end the Democrats to seat Mr..
ruEpIR.

HELENA, Mont, February 1.-Two
delayed express trains which had been
consolidated at Dickerson, Dakota, met
with a serious accident yesterday after
noon about three miles east of Still
water, Mont. The trains, at the mar
row space between high bluff and
Yellowstone river, struck a broken rail.
The engine and mail-car passed safely,
but the baggage, express, one emf

thrown over the banks of the river, q
distance of about eighteen feet, and
landed upon their sides on the ice,
badly demoralized. All the passengers
escaped injury, and no fires occurred.
Another accident happened on the
Northern Pacific railroad near Garrison.
Two engines with n snow-plOw were
ditched. One engineer named Frank
Jones was killed, and, it is claimed, ten
men were seriously injured.

INDIANAPOLIS, February 3.-The Re
publicans do not admit the legality of
'rurpie's election to the United States
Senate. or that the work of the joint
convention was perfected in the pro-
ceedings of Wednesday. On the other
hand, the Democrats claim the record IS
valid, and the joint convention adj
iourned yesterday sine die. In ac-
cordance with the motion of Represen-
tative Gardiner, which the Repub-
leans say prevailed, the joint
convention reassembled to-day at
neon with all the Democratic
and seven Republican senators absent.
Speaker Sayre presided, and the Clerk
OF the House called the roll OF both
houses in the presence of q crowd rs
large and as keenly interested as any
that have assembled in the House OF
Representatives from day to day during
the contest. Ten senators and sixteen
representatives on the Republican side
answered, but the Democratic members
were silent. They were regarded
as absentees until the roll OF
that class was called, when the Speaker
announced the presence Of each one,
but as not answering. Representative
Gardiner then presented a preamble
and resolution reciting the illegalty
of the election of Turpie and the pre-
tended adjournment OF the convention
sine die, and calling for an investiga-
tion in order to prepare memorial Of
the contest to be presented to the
United States Senate. The resolution
provided for the appointment of com
mittee of five to prepare the memorial.
The resolution was adopted, and the
committee appointed thereon consists OF
Senators Winter and Huston and Re
representatives. Gardiner, Griffiths, and
Linck.
An adjournment was then had.
